Title :Falling Hard

Author : Tina Wainscott

Series :Falling Fast, #2

Rating : 3 Stars

Blurb : There’s no one Pax Sullivan wants to run into less than Gemma Thornton. Back in high school, she revved his heart more than street racing. But she picked his clean-cut brother over him—only to accuse Blake of an unforgivable crime. Eventually the charges were dropped and Gemma left town, but the hard feelings lingered . . . along with Pax’s gnawing “what-ifs.” Seven years later, just as he quits the police force to open a racetrack, Gemma’s back—and their chemistry is more combustible than ever. If it were up to her, Gemma would never lay eyes on another Sullivan. She hates them, and they hate her—even Pax, who just so happens to be fixing up her father’s B&B. But the more time she spends with the lean, hard-bodied ex-cop at the inn and on the track, the more Gemma sees that Pax is nothing like his brother. Despite their anguished history, she’s tempted to take their relationship into high gear . . . if she can face the past and risk her heart.

Review : After reading the first book of this series (which I really liked), I was very exited to see the secong book , “Falling Hard” on the Netgalley shelf. I am a big fan of Tina Wainscott, even if this book seems to be a bit “low-rated” regarding to the statement. What I definetly can say is that Tina again created a story with characters that worked very well together! I enjoyed getting to know more about different characters even if it would have been nice to get to know more about sme other characters.

What Tina Wainscott did really well is creating a story that connects the past with the present which is the main important aspect of this story (in my opinion). To see how it influences the things happening in the present was interesting, especially mixed up with this really interesting characters. Especially the main characters have his very deep personalities, definetly something I like. But even then I have to say that I just couldn´t connect with them. There was a distance I haven´t had while reading the first book. Something which is really important to me.

I still like this story. So 3 Stars for a book I enjoyed but that definetly has got more potential.
